Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys may have another artist in the family!

The music producer shared an Instagram video of his 2-year-old son, Genesis, beat boxing like a pro. Of course dad was the hype man. And it was the cutest thing ever.

“In the middle of my #NoCommissionShanghai Genesis wanted me to hear his new beat 1234567 thx @brooklyn_lighthouse on the gear,” he captioned the video. No Commission Shanghai, which he mentions in the post is an art installation in China that Swizz curated. 

Last year, Swizz shared news that his other son with Alicia, Egypt, was a co-producer on Kendrick Lamarโ€™s โ€œUntitled Unmasteredโ€ project. And Egypt also wrote and composed his first song called “Super-boy” that Swizz shared on Instagram as well.

Proud Dad Alert ๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ˜‚ Egy wrote his 1st song Super-boy๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ wait for the fancy fingers at the end ๐Ÿ˜‚ Kids you gotta love em๐Ÿ’—๐ŸŽน #Dedication #hardwork ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฝ EGY-Keys-Beatz

Keys, 36 and Beatz, 38, have two children together. Beatz also has three other kids, Prince Nasir, Kasseem Dean Jr. and Nicole from previous relationships.

The power couple were recently honored for their work in music and art by the Brooklyn Museum at the seventh annual Brooklyn Artists Ball.
